The University of Plymouth is proud to be the host of the 12th Change Agents’ Network (CAN) Conference in May 2025, supported by Jisc.
The University has a long-standing history of working with students in our sector leading peer learning initiatives. We are delighted to share and build upon our transformative approach to peer led learning through discussions with students, students’ unions, professional services, academics and university leaders to address the continued need to innovate higher education with students.
